Chapter 560 Thunder Attack

After the fat monk finished his meal, he began to discuss with his companions where to start.

"Boss, Duke Yun is the one who drove away all the Tartars. Can she tolerate us?"

The fat monk said confidently: "The Tartars are the Tartars, and we are us! We are the people of the Great Zhou, refugees. Can Duke Yun bear to stab us with a sharp knife?"

"If she dares to do this, the reputation she has built up over the years will be ruined, and all the spit in the world will be enough to drown her! Does she still want to fight for the world and conquer the world?"

Others also felt that these big shots wanted to save their reputation and would definitely not do things too drastic, so they all offered suggestions.

"Why don't we attack Wudu County at night? I don't believe that the local people will not be tempted by so much food and gold and silver treasures!"

"As long as the situation becomes chaotic, we will rob and leave! If this fire can be started, we will continue to head north. If it is quickly suppressed by Duke Yun, we will run to Hezhong County. This will also be considered as completing the instructions of that adult!"

The fat monk had no intention of confronting the Yunzhou army in earnest. He just wanted to take advantage of the rioters and grab some more benefits.

Fat Monk: "Okay, it's settled. We'll start tomorrow night!"

Tianlong Temple is located in the western suburbs of Wudu County. Its predecessor was called Xishui Temple. It was founded by a poet monk in the previous dynasty. It was very small at that time and it became prosperous after the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Later, Yan Bopi felt that these monks did not pay taxes, refused to perform labor service, and always accepted offerings from believers, which was sucking the blood of the Yan family!

So, Yan peeled off the skin of all the monks and tied them up and sent them to the quarry. From then on, Tianlong Temple began to decline.

The arrival of the Red Lotus Cult made the Tianlong Temple bustling again, but the firewood stoves were no longer burning incense.

In the big iron pot, hot water was bubbling, and bones with meat on them were floating up and down in the water. You could vaguely make out that they were the shape of a baby.

"Boss! The county government has sent someone again!"

The fat monk was picking his teeth with a weed, with a big belly and a dissatisfied look on his face.

"You're so annoying, just like Tang Monk in Journey to the West, mumbling all the time, making my head hurt. I'll tolerate you for now, until after tomorrow, hum!"

The fat monk stood at the gate of the temple and saw the magistrate of Wudu County riding a horse behind a young man.

The fat monk said loudly and impatiently: "Don't say anything more. I'm going to leave it at that. Unless you agree to our conditions..."

Before the fat monk could finish his words, he saw the man coming without even stopping his horse, and directly led hundreds of cavalrymen, passing him and rushing into Tianlong Temple.

"Check the monks' certificates of ordination. Any monk without a certificate will be arrested!"

In an instant, Tianlong Temple was in chaos.

The number of certificates of ordination issued by the Great Zhou each year is limited.

The followers of the Red Lotus Sect were so frightened by the fully armed Yunzhou cavalry that their legs were shaking. They quickly took out their certificates of ordination and said, "I have the certificate, I am legal, don't arrest me!"

The Yunzhou soldier took a look and concluded, "It's fake! Look at what's written on it? Red Lotus Sect? We don't have this sect in our Great Zhou!"

The followers of the Red Lotus Cult screamed and howled like ghosts, but they dared not resist and allowed the Yunzhou soldiers to string them together with ropes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat monk wanted to run, but was shot in the thigh by Niu Jinyi's arrow.

Niu Jin sneered, the riding and archery skills he had learned on the battlefield were not for nothing.

The fat monk's face was trembling with pain, and he quickly took out a certificate of ordination from his chest: "I have a certificate of ordination! You can't kill me casually! The Buddha will not let you go!"

When Niu Jin received the certificate, he took a closer look and found it was real! This fat monk actually came from Daxiangguo Temple in Kyoto, walked all the way to Hezhong County, and practiced at Wanfu Temple in Hezhong County.

No one knows what happened to him, but he actually re-established the Red Lotus Sect.

The fat monk secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because he was from the Daxiangguo Temple!

Daxiangguo Temple is highly respected by emperors of all dynasties and is an orthodox Buddhist temple recognized by the imperial seal.

Throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were tens of millions of Buddhist believers.

Duke Yun would definitely not openly embarrass Daxiangguo Temple.

Niu Jin threw the certificate of ordination and said, "Without the seal of our Yunzhou, this certificate is fake! Come, take him away!"

Fighting is the strong point of Yunzhou cavalry.

Facing the ferocious Tartars, the Yunzhou cavalry could beat them to the point of crying for their parents, let alone this group of rabble?

It was more like a one-sided beating than a war.

The Red Lotus members didn't even have time to raise their swords before they were beaten to a pulp.

After bringing these people back to Wudu County, Niu Jinyi still had time to deal with several rice shops that were selling grain at high prices.

Perhaps it was the arrival of the refugees that made these rice shop owners eager to make money.

One store secretly doubled its price, while several others only operated half a day's business.

Niu Jinyi made a prompt decision: "According to the regulations, fine them food."

At times like this, the rice shop owners would feel more pain from being fined grain than from being fined money.

Niu Jinyi: "Enhance security inside and outside the city. All buyers of grain must line up according to the household registration population. Each person is limited to purchasing one kilogram of grain per day."

Niu Jin repeatedly emphasized the importance of the matter to the Yunzhou cavalry.

"How many men and women have sacrificed their lives in Yunzhou to gain today's peace and stability! The general wants to seek justice from all the people of Yunzhou, so we have taken Shuozhou!"

"Whether we can get more justice depends on whether we can gain a foothold in Shuozhou!"

"Are you willing to see our sacrifices come to nothing?"

Yunzhou Cavalry: "I won't accept this!"

Niu Jinyi: "Then let's demonstrate to the people of the world that no matter how many refugees come, no matter how many people with ulterior motives are among them, they can't shake the foundation of our Yunzhou! They will only become a force to strengthen us!"

"That's right! Long live Yunzhou! Long live the general!"

…

At the Hezhong County Governor's Mansion, the Governor picked up the written memorial and blew it with satisfaction.

In the memorial, the governor first flattered the government, and then stated that under his leadership, all the officials of Hezhong County tried their best to provide disaster relief.

At the same time, he also came up with a plan, which was to drive the evil cult organizations out of Hezhong County.

Currently, the Red Lotus Sect has fled to Shuozhou, and it is estimated that it will cause a bloody storm in Shuozhou.

Finally, the governor was ostensibly apologizing, but in reality he was boasting about his achievements. He said that if Hezhong County caused unrest in Shuozhou, he would feel guilty towards Duke Yun, and asked Your Majesty to mediate so that Duke Yun would not bear a grudge.

"It's perfect!" The more the governor read the memorial, the more awesome he felt.

Kill two birds with one stone!

He can also trick the famous Duke of Yun, Gu Nanxi!

"My Lord, this is bad! The Red Lotus Cult has been arrested in Shuozhou and set an example!"

I've become addicted to sunbathing recently. It's minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius outside and above 25 degrees Celsius inside.

Basking in the warm sunshine and looking at the snowy scene outside the window, all that's missing is a kitten...
